J.F.K. JR.'S NEW POLITICAL MAGAZINE IS FINALLY HERE. CAN IT STAY?

An era when more and more Americans are claiming to be repelled by politicians--an era when even politicians say they're repelled by politicians--would hardly seem an auspicious time to launch a self-described "fan magazine" about politics, a Rolling Stone for the arts of governance and electioneering. But here it is: George, a slick bimonthly named for our nation's first President. More memorable than the twee title is the name at the top of George's masthead: John F. Kennedy Jr., a former assistant district attorney who is now Manhattan's most glamorous editor in chief, Tina Brown and Anna Wintour notwithstanding.
